>I am looking for a great report utility to incorporate into a VFP application with a dynamic data dictionary capability and source code. I have seen query maker and foxfire. Any suggestions/comments?

I've seen FoxFire and I'm impressed. It took them a while to adjust to the DBC, but I understand the current version is pretty good.

Also look at R&R. It's not quite as intuitive as FoxFire, but it handles calculated fields and table joins a little better.

I've also heard that Crystal has it's advantages too.

One last thing, this is all AFAIK and I can't endorse any of them b/c I've never actually built them into anything I've written [yet. It's only a matter of time. The premise of turning report writing/generation over to the user is scary, yet at the same time a relief.... "Matt, you remember that report you did for me about six months ago? (no) Well, could you run it again and make a few changes, I've got to do a presentation in an hour and I need the most up to date information as possible...(oh, sure, no problem...right)]
